Georgia gets to have a “blast” this Fourth of July just like South Carolina, But legalizing some fireworks might light the fuse for better business.

According to the new law, which is already in effect, sparklers and fountains that “emit showers of sparks” are legal. Any firework that explodes or can be launched like a rocket is not legal.

It’s just the kind of new business venture Glenn Sammons and his church group’s fundraising committee wants to jump on.

While there are no limits on fireworks sales in South Carolina, Sammons and other fireworks businesses hope to make sparkling efforts to sell as much as they can.

“I think it’s a good market for [Georgia] to corner,” Sammons said. “It’s something else [businesses] can make money with. Businesses that are starting to sell them now, it’s just another way they can make some extra money, I guess.”

Some fireworks businesses in South Carolina say they’ll have to wait and see what happens after the Fourth of July to determine whether sales took a hit or not.

Before using any fireworks, read the directions. Also, never let children use fireworks unsupervised.
